a) abc
b) abcd
c) abcde
d) none of the mentioned
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: No output is printed. CharArrayReader object input1 contains string “abcdefgh” whereas object input2 contains string “bcde”, when while((i=input1.read())==(j=input2.read())) is executed the starting character of each object is compared since they are unequal control comes out of loop and nothing is printed on the screen.
Output:

$ javac Chararrayinput.java
$ java Chararrayinput
